Tammy Duckworth is PROOF the Democrats use military veterans... especially wounded veterans... as political window dressing.

Even when she was there, all she did was ask "questions" that defended Pickering and Mullen. It was repulsive.

I'm not sure if anyone else remembers, but her story was more-or-less released to the public at large in a fairly slick package that made her very appealing. Even Laura Ingraham interviewed her, and as there was a great deal of patriotic feeling and love for all things military at the time, she was very much a "feel good" hero.

I got a heads-up on her through an acquaintance that I met at a soldiers' families support group meeting, and I did not want to believe it. (I can be a real sap.) She is intelligent and knows how to play the game, but it is unfortunate that her proclivities have come to full fruition. There is never any shortage of effective people who turn to the dark side, and she willingly took the bait that the Dems dangled in front of her.

In short, I would trust her about as far as I could throw John McCain or John Kerry, but even I was surprised at her callousness in this instance.

I used to assume that with the voluntary military if someone had enough character to join, they’d NEVER be attracted to the lies of the Democrats.
